Proper Use of Effective Flow Boundaries
The determination of the appropriate effective flow boundaries is an important factor in the hydraulic modeling of the flow regime of a stream. It is especially critical in areas with...
Instream Flows for Recreational and Aesthetic Resources
Methods for assessing impacts of instream flow changes on recreation and aesthetics are presented. Impacts to recreation can be predicted by quantifying recreational use, predicting impacts...
Estimating Impacts of Irrigation on Streamflow
This paper presents a method for estimating the impact of irrigation withdrawals on streamflows and shows the application of that method to the Kankakee River Basin of Illinois and Indiana....
Instream Flow Requirements for Riparian Vegetation
Increasing frequency of stream diversion is requiring establishment of methods to determine instream flow requirements for riparian resources. Most methods are oriented toward fisheries....
Using Role Analysis for Instream Flow Negotiations
Improved understanding of multi-agency decisionmaking has been called for but is rarely achieved, partially because there is no well known, broadly accepted technique for conducting an...
Probabilistic Dependable Hydro Capacity: Benefits of Synthetic Hydrology
This paper focuses on the benefits of using synthetic streamflows (the 'synthetic hydrology' approach) for determining a probabilistically defined dependable...
Kalman Filter in Real-Time Hydrologic Forecasting: A Tutorial
The Kalman filter provides an algorithm by which measured streamflow can be used to update the estimated hydrologic state of the watershed as determined from the application of a hydrologic...
The Alabama Rainfall-Runoff Model, ARRM
ARRM consists of a conceptual state-space model which is cast in a stochastic framework. It uses the W.H. Green and C.A. Ampt method for infiltration, exponential decay for interflow and...
What is Necessary to Forecast River Flows Reliably?
The problem of forecasting river flows employing conceptual rainfall-runoff models is reviewed stressing the important connections that exist among data requirements, model structure,...
Channel Routing for Improved Flood Control
Lake Wappapello, located on the St. Francis River in southeastern Missouri, is operated by the St. Louis District (SLD) Corps of Engineers for purposes of flood control and recreation....
Seasonal Streamflow Forecasts Based Upon Regression
Many western water-supply system operators employ forecasts of seasonal inflows for the snow-melt season to plan spring and summer operations. This study considers the simple statistical...
Streamflow Forecasting for Hydropower Operations Using Interactive Modeling Systems
This paper discusses the development of the Snake River Forecast Model (SRFM), a streamflow forecasting system for long-range planning and short-range operation of fifteen hydropower projects....
Computer Simulation of the Long-Term Operation of the Manitoba Hydro System
The System Simulation Model is a deterministic long-term planning model used to simulate reservoir operation and energy allocation in the Manitoba Hydro system. The model uses the method...
Operational Forecasting in Complex River Basins with SSARR-Micro Versus Mainframe Computer
The Streamflow Synthesis and Reservoir Regulation, (SSARR), model has been used for many years for river forecasting and reservoir system modeling in the Columbia River Basin. Operational...
A Tale of Two Subjects: Modern Physics and River Mechanics
The Einsteins, father and son, made some of the greatest contributions to physics and to river mechanics, respectively. The modern phases of these two subjects are of roughly equal age....
Quasi-2D Transport and Morphological Forecasting in Large River Systems
Unused potentials of 1D morphological, and transport models were applied to predict not only the longitudinal but also the transverse distribution of concentrations and natural river bed...
A Finite Element Application of Sand Terrace Formation Process
In this paper, the formation process of a sand terrace in front of river mouth is simulated numerically by means of the finite element method. The two-step explicit scheme is applied as...
Highly Concentrated Sediment Loads of the Yellow River
A set of high concentration data for the Yellow River in China is examined and compared with low concentration data and laboratory experimental results....
Sediment Transport in Hyperconcentrated Flows in Sand-Bed Streams
This study advances the understanding of sediment transport of bed material discharge in sand bed streams through application of recently developed theoretical concepts related to the...
Hyperconcentrations, Mud and Debris Flows?A Summary
Brief descriptions of the properties of mud and debris flow and hyperconcentrated stream flow materials and their importance to the descriptions and modeling of these flows are presented....
